Dates Fourees

Ingredients

2 dozen medjool dates

2/3 cup marzipan

1 or 2 drops green food coloring

Directions

Select 2 dozen of the fattest, firmest medjool dates you can find. Slit them down one side and remove the pit. Mix the marzipan with the food coloring in a small bowl; the color should be a dark, not pastel, green. Stuff each date with marzipan, allowing some to show through the slit. Arrange the dates on a platter and serve.
